Book Description
Sickle cell disorder (SCD) and thalassaemia are inherited blood disorders which have only recently gained serious attention among health professionals and policy makers. In this text, Anionwu (nursing, Thames Valley U.) and Atkin (U. of Leeds) explore issues regarding these disorders in the UK, and the broader problems faced by minority ethnic communities in acquiring adequate health care and support. Coverage includes a clinical introduction to haemoglobinopathies; screening and diagnosing within the context of the "new genetics," including associated ethical dilemmas and problems; general problems faced by patients and their families, and their daily coping strategies; current shortfalls in providing care; examples of existing good practice; strategies and struggles from the historical development of haemoglobinopathy services in the UK; and opportunities and threats for the future. c.
